How am I supposed to use this in a United States socket?

They sent me the European plug version too. Amazon has adapters available that will convert the plug from European to U.S. The supplier offered to refund $6 which I accepted. They were very apologetic for sending me the wrong version.

No I can't use it. The description did not say there was no US plug. Useless product.

Plug handles both 110 and 240, but require adapters to fit other than US sockets.

I honestly do not know! It is used in a regular 120 outlet. You should be able to add the special connector if you use it overseas?

With US plug just plug into socket and it is on. Then when finished unplug from socket.

this comes with a US plug so if your country's socket is not as a US socket then you will need to get the proper adapter

Well where are you from? It is a regular plug for the USA, you might want to look into a universal adapter that has more than 3 options. When I was in Bali I was still able to use this with a very serious adapter the hotel had on hand. It had 4 or 5 different connections.

Make sure you got correct size .you can't use a low profile in a regular socket..but you can usually use a regular (ato?) In a low profile socket.. Though it will stand out a bit more from the others..if space is a problem.

I'm basically repeating what the two other owners have suggested, but allow me to phrase it a little differently. The side with the cord and plug, plug that into the wall socket, and be sure that the voltage setting switch is on 120v (USA). On the opposite side, plug your Japanese appliance into the 100v (Japan) socket. Turn it on and go. Should you ever use this in the opposite situation (an American appliance in Japan), reverse the steps.

Hi, all plugs and sockets are for USA outlets. I use mine with Australian appliances in my US house, have plug adapters which let you plug an Australian plug into the US sockets in the front of the box. If you are going to use it in Australia for US equipment would need a socket adapter from US to Australian. These are cheap on Amazon, brought both types for about $8 and work fine. Also a lot of my Australian electronics work fine on the USA without a voltage converter. Things like TV, DVD, lap top, wii etc, however things like treadmill, vacuum and tools need a voltage conversion and this box has worked great for me. Hi, all plugs and sockets are for USA outlets.

of course you will need an adapter, as you will for any plug-in electrical device that normally plugs into a USA socket. You couldn't plug this in in any Western European country, as the plug configuration is different. These adapters are easy to find. MIne came from Radio Shack.

Although the adapter has a global voltage compatibility, I guess you may find the plug does not fit the electrical socket in your new house. In that case ,either You can buy a converter from US plug shape to UK plug shape, which cost less, or you can buy a transformer with EXACT the same output parameters, which cost a little more. I am lucky because socket in China is compatible with US plug:)

i don't know for sure. it seems like a standard US outlet. i'd check the phillips site.

This product is designed to be used with a US electrical outlet. You could perhaps buy a voltage converter so you can use it anywhere else in the world

I don't know how its going to work out, do you have parts to convert it? It might be too big for socket.
